The mechanism was recovered by sheer luck during that exploration in 1901 as it was thought to be just a stone and almost thrown back into the sea! Thank you for making this video! Hopefully the Greeks fund more such archeological projects in the future!
Sometimes when just swimming at somewhat remote beaches you can literally see Ancient Greek structures. My dad has once found a coin dated 160 ac. Which is literally insane
Theres actually more documentation that came out about the machine since the UA-camr and watchmaker Clickspring started making a real replica using period accurate tools. He made several videos going over his build. He actually took a multi year long pause in the series to help write a paper on his findings. The synopsis of the new findings can be found online. It basically states that the supposition of the 365 day Egyptian calendar was incorrect. The tool was actually very accurate and depicts the 364 day lunar calendar. Please do a follow up so people will know that it actually was accurate for the time period.
Thank you so much for this recommendation!💜 Clickspring is an amazing channel and I'm absolutely addicted to his Antikythera playlist, it's fascinating! Not only does he show how to build it, he teaches you how to translate the inscriptions and everything, incredibly valuable lessons!

there were einsteins in every generation. it's wrong to assume that no ancient people were smart enough to do this. ive heard about this device before and conversations around it quickly jump to aliens and other conspiracies. in my opinion, this device shows that humanity has always been innovative and unexpectedly masterful.
Exactly. The human brain hasn't really changed in thousands of years. The Greek mathematician Euclid developed a wonderfully elegant & rigorous mathematical proof of the infinity of prime numbers 2500 years ago. I remember grappling with it during the pure mathematics syllabus of my science degree, and thinking 'WOW, this was all put together by an ancient Greek who's a lot smarter then me'. Certainly no need for aliens.
It's insane that for decades this thing was just standing there without people not knowing how important it was. Makes you think about how many precious artifacts are just waiting in some corner with people oblivious to their worth.
I suspect it's the opposite, and that shady entities recover this sort of thing a lot more often than we are told. There are massive tunnel systems under the Giza plateau that span miles and miles. Some of them contain stone works that are made with a precision that would be a serious challenge with modern tools. Most of them have "not yet been excavated" according to official sources. It wouldn't be surprising to me at all if their government has excavated further, has found complex tools, and hasnt told anyone.
Indeed. When we look at clickspring videos we see that it is indeed possible to produce things like that with 2000 year old tech but we also understand that the generations of accumulated knowhow and knowledge and small scale industry for supplies, tools and stuff necessary. And to think that all that was somehow lost and that this is the only surviving example.
The story @11:50 about how the device never made it to Rome got me thinking: I wonder how many developments could have been made to tech had it been properly introduced?

"History became legend. Legend became myth. And for over two thousand years, the ship passed out of all knowledge" I can see what you did here precious
Ive heard of this machine a few years prior and find it so unbelievable mindblowing. Not only did they build mechanical stuff, but also this. To be 100% precise (the machine), you need to know also the relative mass/size of a planet. As they surely didnt know that before, this thing couldnt be 100% precise. How ever, building such a crazy calculator 2000 years ago and then never seen afterwards is still pure madness.
They didn't have Newton's laws of gravity and motion at the time, not even trigonometry. I have to wonder what mathematical tools they used for the calculations. Probably just some extrapolations from observations, which would obviously lead to their own errors
You know, for as short as this video was, and for as long as I've known about the antikythera mechanism, this was a very good summary, and I didn't know about the newest info. Great descriptions!
@@Pooki2024there was a thing called yt premium once that let you watch "premium" videos, like vsauce's series etc. and they were considered higher production quality, so the original comment kinda makes sense

Not a Mercury in retrograde joke lmao, I love hearing the narrator be nomstoic. Its wild to think of the advanced forms of tech that existed in the past but were destroyed due to being useless for daily life
Love that I'm still getting ATLA flashbacks when Archimedes gets brought up. The show creators did an amazing job of integrating his designs in ways that stuck with children.
Archimedes was so ahead of his time. He invented an array of polished mirrors that could be used to magnify light with such concentration that he could set the sails of enemy ships on fire from a distance. Imagine being a normal barbarian at that time and being like "we dont raid the wizard's island anymore, he keeps setting our boats on fire with magic."
I had no idea they'd actually solved it. I'm astonished at what it actually was. Absolutely mind-boggling they were able to make something like that in ancient Greece.
It’s influence is deep to the western culture, but the rest of world: the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians and the Chinese all equally as advanced in its technology and cultural richness, was made by those cultures. The Greeks were great but to call it shaping the whole world is not accurate at all. All the other great ancient civilizations were doing fine independently (although they had interactions) on their own
Almost nobody thinks that. Only idiots atribute the pyramids to aliens and crap. Having personally visited them 3 times, it is clear they were built by humans and it is clear they were indeed tombs. plenty of conspiracies out there like "if they are tombs why they don't have hieroglyphs?", they don't because they are pre late 5th dynasty where hieroglyphs weren't used in tombs. The age of the internet just allows for a massive amount of minsinformation out there.
People seriously underestimate the skill that master craftsmen had hundreds or thousands of years ago. People back then dedicated their whole lives to their work, but people nowadays just think "nah, had to be aliens". Its honestly insulting to their memory.
12:02 Thank you for the clarification. I always hate it when media keep saying that ancient science and technology were much more advanced than today's. Totally disrespect the great minds who have shaped the current world for us. There are many better ways to praise, e.g. standing on the shoulders of giants.
Even great minds who stood on the shoulders of giants are lost in time, like teardrops in rain. Nobody's saying the scientists whose names we all know aren't great. The implication is rather that there may be great scientists in the past whose names we don't know.
people still believes that the great pyramids are impossible to build even with today's tech. citing that "the cuts are too precise", "no way they transported that many blocks that far", and "our current tech struggles to lift even a block" we literally made circuits so small that logic gate runs on single atoms and that measuring device has been invented ever since humanity decided to build an organized place today we still use logs to dislodge even a tank from being bogged down in a mud. combine that with a pulley system to get these blocks up the pyramid. there's also a whole nile river, and from what i can tell ships transporting f**kton of stuff existed in that time period the average weight of each blocks are 2.5 tons. an M1 abrams tank weights 65 tons and is constantly being carried by a helicopter and cargo plane for quick deployment. i think we'd have better chances moving such weights when the device is planted to the ground
@@piscessoedroenbut no way could we replicate the great pyramid and you know it. No way we could do it. Not even considering the money. Where would that come from? Hilarious that we think we are better than the builders of the great pyramids. And spoiler. The Egyptians just moved in to that one. Since it already had a Sphinx and all.
@@Userhfdryjjgddf we literally made bass pro shops pyramid, which is like what, 5th largest? We can make it.

With all due respect, being Greek and all, it's AntiKYthera. Not AntiTHykera. Antikythera is a small island a little ways from the island Kythera (Anti- sometimes means "across from" in Greek) Sorry for being a buzz kill. but you were calling it incorrectly in the video. Awesome work as always, love your stuff! Channels like this are truly the bright side of UA-cam 🙏
i love the quality of your animations. earned a sub! also i find it quite exciting how ancient computers apparently are. especially when it reaches a point of the question actually being what TYPE of computer is being refered to, when refering to the "first" computer. literally had the first digital computer be my exam topic in ideahistory
I have a passion for mechanical things and what not. Years ago, I learned about the antykithera mechanism and was instantly hooked. I enjoyed this video very much, keep up the good work!

12:50 The universe is not heliocentric. The solar system even isn't. But The sun is obviously in the center of our solar system. Edit: Just to clarify. Modern astronomy does not define a center of the universe. It only defines your momentarily position as the center of the observable universe, which is a relative line in spacetime defined by the spacial location and velocity of the observer.
@@sythys_ It means the planets orbit the Sun. It doesn't mean the Sun has to be in the exact centre of the solar system. That is impossible due to the gravitational pull of the planets as they orbit.

Can’t help but bust out laughing at the thought some 2000 years from now an archeologist may unearth a Tamagotchi, and will think it’s an advanced anachronistic super solar calculator, throwing the whole scientific community in a wild goose chase to solve the mystery for the next 200 years.
10:00 -- WRONG -- They were not solely basing it off of geo-centrism, but rather that their RELATIVE position in the COSMOS dictated this as the actual visual PERSPECTIVE they had of the celestial bodies closest to US... Earth... If it were the other way around, it would have extremely odd...
The mechanism has given us remarkable insight into Greek ingenuity, showing that ancient civilizations possessed technology far beyond what we previously imagined. It’s a testament to the brilliance of the past.

They are mathematically equivalent in fact! Copernicus' theory wasn't accepted because it was simpler; it was accepted because, through Kepler's laws, it was much more physically plausible. While it is certainly possible to write down the mathematics for a geocentric theory that describes the elliptical orbit of the planets and their epicycle, the resulting theory would make no physical sense.
That wouldn't make much sense since months are just how we scale a year, if we remove or add months then the months would be longer or smaller. So if there was another month that would just mean all the months are smaller

Making a mechanism to demonstrate and make complex calculations more actualized, would be the wet dream of astronomers back then. But there was no way of massproducing it back then, so even finding one is amazing.
it's amazing how someone would put so much work and effort into constructing something, just for their customers to gut and salvage your device you painstakingly built AND hopefully got "well compensated" for in trade.

*Revelation 3:20*
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
HEY THERE 🤗 JESUS IS CALLING YOU TODAY. Turn away from your sins, confess, forsake them and live the victorious life. God bless.
Revelation 22:12-14
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Ive heard of this machine a few years prior and find it so unbelievable mindblowing. Not only did they build mechanical stuff, but also this. To be 100% precise (the machine), you need to know also the relative mass/size of a planet. As they surely didnt know that before, this thing couldnt be 100% precise. How ever, building such a crazy calculator 2000 years ago and then never seen afterwards is still pure madness.
They didn't have Newton's laws of gravity and motion at the time, not even trigonometry. I have to wonder what mathematical tools they used for the calculations. Probably just some extrapolations from observations, which would obviously lead to their own errors
@@KaesoGThey used the match calculator thingy w the beads idk what it’s called I forget but I’m sure yk what I’m talking ab

I spent the last few days binge-watching the videos on this channel and the increase in production quality I've found to be the most pronounced in the models of the people.
Going from blank smooth heads and minimal physical differences between people to the near-identical replications of the people being talked about has been astounding to watch. The hard work is certainly paying off and y'all should be proud of your accomplishments.
Whenever formerly "lost" things and history are found im really happy. There is so much that has been lost throughout time that we would have loved but never got to even know about and as a huge history nerd it always pains me so i'd just like to thank you for bringing stuff like this to the light (or however its written, idk)

Love that I'm still getting ATLA flashbacks when Archimedes gets brought up. The show creators did an amazing job of integrating his designs in ways that stuck with children.
I was thinking the exact same thing, the device is basically a hand held planetarium.
Avatar the last air bender?
When I hear Archimedes, I remember a bird instead.
Nothing is amazing
Archimedes was so ahead of his time. He invented an array of polished mirrors that could be used to magnify light with such concentration that he could set the sails of enemy ships on fire from a distance. Imagine being a normal barbarian at that time and being like "we dont raid the wizard's island anymore, he keeps setting our boats on fire with magic."
I had no idea they'd actually solved it. I'm astonished at what it actually was. Absolutely mind-boggling they were able to make something like that in ancient Greece.

Hello fellow UA-cam goers, just another real person here :)
The quality of the video is insane!
Ancient Greeks shaped the world but few know about there achievements.
Thanks for creating this amazing Video and sharing your knowledge
Ancient Greeks were 100% African
Someone stole their secrets
It’s influence is deep to the western culture, but the rest of world: the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians and the Chinese all equally as advanced in its technology and cultural richness, was made by those cultures. The Greeks were great but to call it shaping the whole world is not accurate at all. All the other great ancient civilizations were doing fine independently (although they had interactions) on their own

Absolutely outstanding video! Throughly enjoyed it and you now have another subscriber 💞💞💞
It's insane how people think we weren't smart enough to build the pryamids.
Almost nobody thinks that. Only idiots atribute the pyramids to aliens and crap. Having personally visited them 3 times, it is clear they were built by humans and it is clear they were indeed tombs. plenty of conspiracies out there like "if they are tombs why they don't have hieroglyphs?", they don't because they are pre late 5th dynasty where hieroglyphs weren't used in tombs. The age of the internet just allows for a massive amount of minsinformation out there.
When we don't understand something, we blame it on God or ancient aliens. We suck.
People seriously underestimate the skill that master craftsmen had hundreds or thousands of years ago. People back then dedicated their whole lives to their work, but people nowadays just think "nah, had to be aliens". Its honestly insulting to their memory.
They were pretty much the same as us, we were just born into a technological advanced era. They were not but still were as brilliant as we are today
Well considering how dumb the avg westerner is becoming these days due to social media I can't blame em lol
One day you have a random fern video pop up on your feed and the next you’re on edge for every video release. Banger after banger
12:02 Thank you for the clarification. I always hate it when media keep saying that ancient science and technology were much more advanced than today's. Totally disrespect the great minds who have shaped the current world for us. There are many better ways to praise, e.g. standing on the shoulders of giants.
There's been an update on this device, and it actually was a lot more accurate than this video says
Even great minds who stood on the shoulders of giants are lost in time, like teardrops in rain.
Nobody's saying the scientists whose names we all know aren't great. The implication is rather that there may be great scientists in the past whose names we don't know.
people still believes that the great pyramids are impossible to build even with today's tech. citing that "the cuts are too precise", "no way they transported that many blocks that far", and "our current tech struggles to lift even a block"
we literally made circuits so small that logic gate runs on single atoms and that measuring device has been invented ever since humanity decided to build an organized place
today we still use logs to dislodge even a tank from being bogged down in a mud. combine that with a pulley system to get these blocks up the pyramid. there's also a whole nile river, and from what i can tell ships transporting f**kton of stuff existed in that time period
the average weight of each blocks are 2.5 tons. an M1 abrams tank weights 65 tons and is constantly being carried by a helicopter and cargo plane for quick deployment. i think we'd have better chances moving such weights when the device is planted to the ground
@@piscessoedroenbut no way could we replicate the great pyramid and you know it. No way we could do it. Not even considering the money. Where would that come from? Hilarious that we think we are better than the builders of the great pyramids. And spoiler. The Egyptians just moved in to that one. Since it already had a Sphinx and all.
@@Userhfdryjjgddf we literally made bass pro shops pyramid, which is like what, 5th largest?
We can make it. The only reason we don't is that there's no reason, and when there's no reason, there will be no money poured out
Besides, it's literally just a pyramid, the most stable shape there is, the simplest one, build base big build top small
You all make such polished and well-put-together pieces of work. you guys clearly know what you're doing when it comes to video production!
With all due respect, being Greek and all, it's AntiKYthera. Not AntiTHykera.
Antikythera is a small island a little ways from the island Kythera (Anti- sometimes means "across from" in Greek)
Sorry for being a buzz kill. but you were calling it incorrectly in the video. Awesome work as always, love your stuff! Channels like this are truly the bright side of UA-cam 🙏

12:50 The universe is not heliocentric. The solar system even isn't. But The sun is obviously in the center of our solar system. Edit: Just to clarify. Modern astronomy does not define a center of the universe. It only defines your momentarily position as the center of the observable universe, which is a relative line in spacetime defined by the spacial location and velocity of the observer.

@@jsssssssssssssss The Solar System orbits a point inside the sun, the Sun isn't actually the center.
@@sythys_ It means the planets orbit the Sun. It doesn't mean the Sun has to be in the exact centre of the solar system. That is impossible due to the gravitational pull of the planets as they orbit.

@@wasserruebenvergilbungsvirus Is it funded by public? I know they are being funded/cooperates with 1UP Managament, which is German company for artists and their management and marketing. But that company is GmbH which in Germany is something like Ltd. LLC or Inc. kind of companies.
@@LiquidSpacie Their original German channel (Simplicissimus) gets public broadcasting money, and most videos are uploaded on both channels with German and English dubs respectively. I assume (but of course don't know for sure) that this allows them to hire a bunch of editors and animators

Can’t help but bust out laughing at the thought some 2000 years from now an archeologist may unearth a Tamagotchi, and will think it’s an advanced anachronistic super solar calculator, throwing the whole scientific community in a wild goose chase to solve the mystery for the next 200 years.

The mechanism has given us remarkable insight into Greek ingenuity, showing that ancient civilizations possessed technology far beyond what we previously imagined. It’s a testament to the brilliance of the past.
12:56 both models are correct, because Earth and Sun are both valid reference frames. The heliocentric model is just mathematically simpler.

@@cavey1965 bro this is not Facebook gtfo of here
They are mathematically equivalent in fact! Copernicus' theory wasn't accepted because it was simpler; it was accepted because, through Kepler's laws, it was much more physically plausible. While it is certainly possible to write down the mathematics for a geocentric theory that describes the elliptical orbit of the planets and their epicycle, the resulting theory would make no physical sense.
sick video, this could be on netflix too. And props for making it 21:9! looks way better

Holy moly the production must have taken ages. Thank you for the dedication!!!
13:49 Isn't there a conspiracy about us having extra months or vise versa. Throw this into the mix and maybe it's actually correct 😅
That’s what I was thinking like bro mabey it’s not off , maybe it’s just set to another time trenching technique
That wouldn't make much sense since months are just how we scale a year, if we remove or add months then the months would be longer or smaller. So if there was another month that would just mean all the months are smaller
I was thinking the same thing
We are a geocentric earth. Heliocentric is a lie.
There should be 13 with each month having the same amount of days and follows the lunar cycle exactly.

Making a mechanism to demonstrate and make complex calculations more actualized, would be the wet dream of astronomers back then. But there was no way of massproducing it back then, so even finding one is amazing.
